Note. CI = confidence interval; RR = rate ratio. We obtained CIs for design-based variance–covariance matrices to adjust for the stratification, clustering, and weighting of the data.

a

Adjusted for family member missing because of other reasons (school or college, military, or long-term care facility or nursing home) and age.

b

Adjusted for model 1 measures, race, income–needs ratio, education, and self-rated health in childhood.

c

Adjusted for model 2 measures, childhood family structure, childhood public assistance, marital status, health insurance status, and foreign-born status.

d

Adjusted for model 3 measures and physical activity.

e

Adjusted for model 3 measures and body mass index (BMI; defined as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters).

f

Adjusted for model 3 measures, BMI, hypertension, and diabetes.

g

No adjustments made for physical activity, BMI, hypertension or diabetes in model 4 for this outcome.

h

Adjusted for model 4 measures and own incarceration.
